hi

should I believe the voltage in the bios or cpu-z as there is quite a difference

bios = 1.37

cpu-z = 1.32

cheers
 
Every time i test CPU-Z against a multi meter its been right. Maybe your just getting some vdroop once ya get into windows.
 
the bios wont take into account any voltage that loadline calibration will add because its not being applied in the bios,same as any power saving it doesn't work in the bios so cpu runs at full speed/voltage until it reaches windows

the bump in voltage from the bios to windows is down to loadline calibration adding a touch to counter voltage droop under cpu load
